Iâve got tons of jars of it when they used to be reduced in price or on offer, but not for years now and it keeps very well un opened.

One is missing alreadyâŠbut nothing has been said as yet!
I did not have any double cream so ended up making a buttercream with icing sugar and butter plus some single cream but milk can be used of courseâŠdessert chocolate which I now melt fine in the microwave for the top coatingâŠChoux Pastry is so light that I could easily eat 2⊠

I wouldnât dare to make any of them, I would eat them all and think about it afterwards. I ate a large bar of chocolate once, didnât feel sick but very guilty.

I made this butterless sponge cake this morning for my son and his work colleagues, as he is leaving the business.
Itâs the most light and airy sponge I have ever made ,absolutely delicious,Iâve been told, when Iâve made them before.
If anyone is interested, itâs a recipe from â yum itâ butterless sponge ,YouTube.

Just made this coffee and walnut cake for a friendâŠyeah right,
, I know!!..itâs not healthy!..a little bit of what you fancy in moderation,my personal trainer told me some years back.
I will give some to,Janice and Rita, the rest I will freeze.
If anyone is interested itâs a Nigella Lawson recipe.
The frosting is an American frosting, they are much nicer imo.
The Americans are darn good at cake/ sponge bakingâŠand their frostings are so yummy!!.

That looks delicious,Maree, did you make it with margarine or butter?
Presentation looks great.
âŠI can see that in one of my coffee shops I visit,âŠwouldnât last five minutes.
I always make mine with butter, my friend makes hers with margarine, I find it tastes really heavy and dense.
Is that butter icing ,with yellow colouring?..
My sons fav cake, is Chocolate with a ganache filling and toppingâŠ

I have always used Stork block margarine, like my mum and granny before me!
But since they made it vegan recently, itâs not as good, so Iâve switched to butter
Yes, itâs lemon butter icing, with real lemon juice, lemon essence and a spoonful of lemon curd

A neighbour - who was emptying his 'fridge prior to going on holiday - gave me a packet of ready made filo pastry. Not something I have ever used before - so I rummaged on the 'net (as you do) and found these little beauties. Too hot to bake during the day - made them around sillyâoâclock in the morning yesterday and they are truly delicious! One major problem though - if left for too long they develope a case of the âsoggy bottomsâ ! Shared them out with neighbours.
